PrintGRIP’s Story
With over 15 years of experience in the Screen Printing industry and countless hours of regluing, dealing with aerosol fumes and wasted hours replacing transfer paper on shirt boards, I knew there had to be a better way.
Having a safer, cleaner and reusable alternative to traditional adhesives was my goal in creating printGRIP.
PrintGRIP gives you all the benefits of traditional adhesives with out any of the faults.
I initially just wanted to make my job as a screen printer easier and cleaner. Then when I introduced it to other shops I was amazed on the reaction.
I am happy to now share this new alternative to traditional adhesives to the all of my fellow screen printers out there and hope it does what I had always intended. Make our jobs easier and cleaner.
Thank you,

A: PrintGRIP is recommended to be replaced between 3 to 6 months of use. The material will always be tacky, BUT over time it will get more difficult to clear the lint off.
A: PrintGRIP adheres to most fabrics. Best on Cotton, Polyester, Cotton Blends, Poly Blends, and Tri Blends consisting of Poly/Cotton/Rayon. PrintGRIP does not adhere well to certain blends of Nylon/Elastin or Nylon/Spandex or combinations of those. If printing on this type of material it is best to run a test print first.
A: Yes, printGRIP can be flashed. PrintGRIP has been tested to 970 degrees for 20 seconds with no signs of scorching.
A: PrintGRIP can be cleaned off by using an on press cleaner.
A: No, you may see Ghost or transferred images. They can be cleaned with an on-press cleaner but as long as it is not affecting the stickiness you do not have to clean them off.
